is it just me, or do all the songs from Deep Purple's mark I era have few views?This is a great era for Deep Purple regardless if half of their first two albums are covers. They are GREAT covers!! Long live Deep Purple Mark I!!
superb, childhood memories! my ''hippie''-dad listened to it everytime (I grew up in the 80s). this is.....timeless! better than the original (matter of taste).
Escuchè en vivo a èsta banda, en el estadio del Cruz Azul de la Ciudad de Mèxico, a mediados de los 70's, donde ademàs, el grupo telonero fuè Black Oak Arkansas, cuyo guitarrista Jim Dandy ¡se robò la noche!. fueron 5 horas de mùsica donde me divertì arrancando el pasto y sumido en el lodo, èsa lluviosa noche con olor a marijuana y una que otra encuerada. ¡El primer gran concierto de rock que permitìan las represivas autoridades mexicanas de aquèl entonces.
¡Grandioso tema!. Programado por "Radio Capital" de la Ciudad de Mèxico. Aprovecho para recordar a los conductores Cèsar Alejandre y el Sr. Vara Patatucci.
i saw deep purple do songs from thier 1st album live at the forum in LA , as they opened up for the CREAM , awesome . now i cant remember if the cream let them do this one for it was their perogative to do this one . does anyone remember ? love the intro too ....
DAMN does this song bring back FANTASTIC memories!!!!!! I would go to this place to dance in Miami, Florida (it was called, "The Place") and I would dance my ass off. I can still close my eyes and visualize how fantastic this felt!! Hell, I didn't even NEED a partner. Just feelin' goooooooooooooooooood---me and the music! Thank you for uploading this song!
Tienes toda la razon del mundo este himno es la muestra del comienzo del rock duro hoy llamado heavy metal, metal y todas sus ramificaciones no solo se puede esperar un grupo mejor q este si no q jamas existira ...
Great version of 'I'm so Glad'! I can only say these things about the 'music' of today: "I'm so sad, I'm so sad, I'm sad I'm sad I'm sad!" AND perhaps: "I'm so mad, I'm so mad, I'm mad I'm mad I'm mad." Today's artists, for the most part, lack the creativity and imagination of the artists of the past.
@martin2sax Sigh...I realized I had that story backwards about a week ago while I was reading a ten year-old copy of guitar world. Was hoping no one would catch my mistake on here. haha I think It was actually Clapton's roadie gave it to one of Blackmore's roadies...or maybe directly to Blackmore. At any rate, I had the story backwards. Good eye my friend.
Actually the instrumental beginning to this song is called Prelude: Happiness! Remember? By the way I have this album on vinyl on a British import-and the CD you pictured. Trivia question: What was Deep Purple's first American record label-and who signed them to that label? The answer may surprise you! I've got Book Of Taliesyn and Deep Purple (3rd) on the original American label-I've had offers in the hundreds of $ for the 3rd-the rarest American release of all Purple
@Slaysteezy6969 Yes!! You got it right! To most folks it seems very unusual that Bill Cosby would have given a heavy metal band their start! You're one of the very few who know! And, yes, it was Tetragrammaton Records. The rarest Tetragrammaton of Deep Purple's is their 3rd. I have an almost mint copy which once I was offered a large sum of money for! But I turned it down! Tetragrammaton went out of business just after its release. Also have Taliesyn on that label-mint condition!
I love this song... early deep purple was as great as later deep purple. I'm 15, and I wish more people my age listened to music like this than what they usually do now
I'll say one thing, this version has a lot more going on compared to Cream's, although Jack Bruce's bass is untouchable. I love both versions equally. Thanks a million for uploading!
sarò una voce fuori dal coro ma x me l'introduzione di jon lord non c'entra un cazzo,appesantisce il brano e soprattutto trasforma un classico del delta blues in una cagata progressive!!(e per cagata intendo SOLAMENTE che non c'entra nulla con il blues,non che il progressive in sè sia una cagata,per carità)
Deep Purple Mk I, R. Blackmore - J. Lord - I. Paice - R. Evans - N. Simper. (great band) Deep Purple Mk II, Blackmore, Lord, Paice, I. GILLAN & R. GLOVER are the best hard & heavy rock band all time....
@pulcinomi I can agree that they are definitely one of the very best....I always liked this older style they had over the later thing they had. This is more 60's psych and less 70's boogie rock bs. Plus I've always been partial to rod evans voice over gillan.
@AliBabazzi Mk1 Purple was the very best. Smoke on the water sounds like crap compared to this. Rod Evans and Nick Simper was the Deep Purple that I love.
It's actually a cover of the Cream version, the Skip James version is different enough that you can see that.
The Purps were touring with Cream just before this was recorded and this was probably a tribute to Cream. About half of this album is covers, though that's not a problem.
It is quite easy to see where Purple were going from this, to being one of the top bands in the universe.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
better than cream's effort, but still, why in the name of fuck would anyone do this to such a great song. Shitty wank-off guitar solo and all. fucks sake.
instead of looking at it as a "rip-off of the original" try looking at is as "Deep Purple introducing this great song to a whole different audience".
I don't know who Skip James is.. if this is his song.. I never would have heard it had DP not covered it...I'm sure SK is very..or should I say "SO Glad" of the royally checks he got for it ;-)
Well learn who skip james is... and I doubt he knows too much about it. I never said it was a rip off - there's nothing wrong with covering a song so long as you don't maliciously rape it.
De las mejores canciones de Deep Purple, y de las 1ras que escuché de ellos. Fué solo hace un tiempo que descubrí que es un cover de Cream, pero aún asi es grandiosa
THE BEST OF DEEP PURPLE, Without doubt, the best bands are British and that is good, thanks for posting this song so powerful and unforgettable, greetings from Peru.
except where would the british rock bands be without the american bluesmen to write these songs for them and inspire the entire movement of bluesrock in britain?
@AgentCarter where would english-speaking america be without britain anyway? and where would britain be without the saxons and normans and nyaaargh.. 0.O 'tis a long chain of events my friend. ^^ hahaha
certainly english folk music influenced early forms of american music. those, along with irish music and spirituals sung by african slaves with african origins, formed blues, and mountain folk music.
however the british blues musicians were VERY directly connected to american blues music to the point of emulation, as opposed to the long time process of time which it took for american roots music to develop and become something completely different from their origins.
is it just me, or do all the songs from Deep Purple's mark I era have few views?This is a great era for Deep Purple regardless if half of their first two albums are covers. They are GREAT covers!! Long live Deep Purple Mark I!!
